NEW YORK (CNN/Money) -
As the final installment in the "Star Wars" series draws near, specialty tickets are turning out to be a big hit with fans.
A pair of tickets to a London event Monday, which will show all five of the previous episodes and an advance screening of the newest one, is fetching almost $1,000 dollars on eBay (Research).
Charity tickets in the United States have reportedly brought in $500 and more for special advance showings of "Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith."
"Revenge of the Sith", the last of the three prequels that completes the six-part saga, is set for general release in the U.S. and U.K. on Thursday, May 19.
Director George Lucas and a number of the film's stars are rumored to be flying in for the London event. Fans will also be treated to free "Star Wars" music by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and platoons of stormtroopers.
